I discovered recently that my dad is having an affair. My mum knows, and she didn't tell me or my sister; although my sister made jokes about it because my dad would spend hours with his phone and became very protective of it - and I shouted at her, saying he wasn't that kind of person. My sister still doesn't know, but me and my mum talk about it; she is only slightly irritated, but not angry. Whenever she confronts him subtly (maybe hinting at liking somebody too much) he goes nuts...but only verbally. I am not afraid of him physically hurting my mum because I know he wouldn't go that far.
Unfortunately we were on holiday and my dad took the dog for a walk. He left his phone on charge and I browsed through it, seeing very deep messages between him and this woman. I was more disgusted at his replies.
My mum only works as a reception teacher, and she couldn't afford (money-wise) to live without him. I am distraught, not knowing what to do. Can anyone please suggest anything?
